The MLB and Cleveland will always regret not having Charlie Sheen throw out the first pitch of the 2016 World Series. How epic would have have been to see him walk out to that song? Controversy aside, we needed that moment
Especially if they hadn’t announced ahead of time and started the music and had him do the walkout…… MLB, failing to step up to the plate EVERY D__NED TIME!!
Her reaction in the sequel may not be as memorable, or as funny, but it's pretty decent: "Oh no! Not this goddamn song again!" Being how it was a PG rated movie, she couldn't go all out in her cursing like here.
It makes you wonder what that deep breathing was for. Was it because he was facing a batter who twice homered on him with the bases loaded, or because he slept with his third baseman's wife and he would be out for vengeance on him? It probably was a bit of both.
Except for two parts of A League of Their Own, mine, too. Oh, there's another great scene in the Clint Eastwood as a baseball scout and his daughter that's damned good as well.
Tom Berenger says probably the best line of dialogue out of any baseball movie, “This guy’s the out you’ve been waiting your whole life for!” It gets me pumped every time I hear it!
Definitely one of the greatest scenes in a sports movie. Here’s a fun fact… Charlie sheen is a huge baseball fan and he used to play all the pitching that he does is really him. He throws in the high 80s so they just change the speeds for the movies but that’s all him pitching. You can Google it. Just a fun fact.
That is a fun fact. He was pitching mid-70's but, in a Sports Illustrated interview, he said he took steroids to pump up his speed to the high 80s. They also moved the pitching mound closer to HP just to make it look like it was faster than it was. Very cool.
It has to be a morale-buster for the Yankees. But then, the greatest example of this kind of musical morale management I ever saw was in real life, when the Philadelphia Flyers hockey team got Kate Smith to sing "God Bless America" for their first ever playoff game (they were an expansion team) in 1974. The two teams are skating around during their warm-up period, but then the stadium lights go out. When they go back on again, there is an organ, an organist, a red carpet, and Kate Smith. The Fliers went on to beat Chicago that night. They did this not only for the in-your-face moral points, but also when the stadium played the Kate Smith record rather than the national anthem that year, the Fliers were 36-3-1 for the season.
Approaching the ring at a combined weight of 475 lbs, the team of Eddie Kingston and JEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON Mooooooxley
This movie was filmed in Milwaukee at the old Milwaukee County Stadium. This scene was the first one filmed because the producers knew that local interest would be high early on which would get people out to the ball park assuring the big crowds they needed. As summer progressed, local interest in the movie waned and fewer people showed up.
It looks like a good time but doing film and TV extra work is usually worse than picking through diarrhea garbage You stand around for 12 hours, get fed dogshit, have to beg to use the bathroom & get paid lower than middle wage
@@spankwish He admitted that for the movie he took steroids to improve his performance. He did pitch in High School though, and was actually decent, from what I hear. For the movie he was able to get his fast ball up to around 85, which is nothing to scoff at.
Gotta love a manager who goes with his gut instinct and puts in a pitcher who had been having horrible luck against the batter he'd be facing. Shows you the confidence he had in his young pitcher, that he learned from his past mistakes and can find a way to get the best of the batter he was facing. I'm also sure that if his plan backfired and he got smoked with another grand slam, putting the game out of reach, that he was ready to endure the shit that the media, fans, and front office have given him had his plan backfired. Gotta love managers like that!
He also knows that will be true for any decision he makes; go with Vaughn, keep Ed in there, or bring in the other pitcher who must have been warming in the pen (since Jake was surprised), if the out is made he's a genius and if the game is lost he's a fool.
That movie is hilarious but this scene made it awesome. That has to be the coolest scene in a baseball movie that I've ever seen. His entrance was probably the best part of Major League 2 and it's definitely the best part here. This movie was the only time in my life that I ever rooted against the Yankees. That's the power this movie has. I love it that much a very funny movie and my favorite baseball film aside from The Natural.
Everybody in this movie is great, but James Gammon's Lou Brown is one of the most brilliantly funny characters in movie history. I could watch his performance every day, forever.
My favorite sceen with Lou Brown is when the GM contacts him for the manager's job. "How'd you like to manage the Indians?" "Well...I don't know." "Whattya mean I don't know?" The panic in his voice is the icing on the cake. When the movie came out, Cleveland wasn't a good team. Cleveland fans were actually calling for James Gammon to manage the Indians. They figured, he couldn't be any worse than anoyone else they had.
This following contest is scheduled for one fall, with a 20 minutes time limit. Approaching into the ring, from Cincinnati Ohio. Weighing 231 pounds. JEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNN MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOXLEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYY
I’m not American. I’m not really overly interested in sports. But this movie is one of my all time favourites with this scene being one of the greatest movie scenes ever.
Not sure if this was intentional on the part of the filmmakers, but this particular punkified version of Wild Thing was also the entrance music for Japanese deathmatch legend Atsushi Onita. I've seen this movie loads of times and when I first saw an FMW show from the 90s a couple years ago, I was taken aback when Onita came out to this particular song.
Yeah, the good old days of mild national ribbing before everything became a "racist" issue. As an Asian living in an Asian country, I wholeheartedly approve.
“The following contest is scheduled for one fall with a 20 minute time limit, making his way to the ring..he is the interim AEW World Champion….JEEEOON MOXLEY!!!”
The part that makes this entire game work is that aside from a couple one liners, the game is filmed completely serious, so there feels like real emotional stakes as to who wins.
Damn I can't believe how good it looks in HD in 2024. But I guess when you watched it on VHS when it came out back in the day it looks amazing to me!!!
Major League and The Natural are my favorite baseball movies. This scene and Roy Hobbs hitting the home run busting up the lights in the stadium are the greatest. If The Tribe had a Wild Thing relief pitcher they would have won the couple of the world series they lost in game 7s.
@@les4767 I agree. I really liked reading up on baseball history learning all I missed prior to being old enough to follow the game in 1960 or so as a Cards fan, so that movie really got to me.
Fun Fact: Jon Moxley(better known in WWE as Dean Ambrose) was a big fan of Major League movie which he ended using that song "Wild Thing" as his entrance theme in AEW.
Even more bad ass is him walking in. Now with this “speed up the game” shit he would have to almost take a dead sprint and the scene would last 22 seconds.
Saw this movie on post at Ft. Dix in '89. Our drill sgts. gave the whole platoon 6 hrs. of liberty on a Saturday afternoon in week 7. Basic, back then, was 8 weeks. I high-tailed it to the movie house. After the movie, I linked up with my buddy from Kentucky and we hit the burger bar. We each had a Snickers bar and got a mad sugar rush! We hadn't had any sweets for over 2 months.
I haven't seen any comments about missing the days when Cleveland and the Yankees were in the same division. This is basically Game 163 since in the movie, both teams ended up tied at the end of the regular season so they had to play this game to determine the Division winner. Also, Harris pitched almost the whole game, 8 2/3 innings, yet doesn't get the win because he left with game tied. Vaughn faces one batter, then the Indians win it in the bottom of that inning. That means that Vaughn is actually the winning pitcher of this game. Goes to show you how much this is seen as a "team effort" ending because I know if this was today, first of all, the starting pitcher would not have lasted as long as Harris did, and if they did, they'd be screaming and making a scene about getting pulled when they have a chance at a complete game (assuming they were able to retire the next batter and his team would be able to win it that inning).
The crowds reaction as soon as wild thing starts up is so fucking awesome, really makes me miss old school baseball, larger than life characters are what made the game so damn fun, really hope it gets back to that point
Old school baseball would be pitching dominance, most if not all games played during the day, and players wearing wool uniforms (plus all players being the same race). This isn't even close to old school baseball!
